The Montreal Canadiens open up their third round Stanley Cup Playoff series this evening when they take on the Vegas Golden Knights in Vegas at 6pm ET.
According to Habs insider John Lu of TSN, the team will still be without the services of defenceman Jeff Petry, despite the fact that head coach Dominique Ducharme claimed Petry would be good to go for Game 1. Evidently, Petry's injured hand (finger) is still not in good enough shape for him to make it into the lineup this evening.
With Petry still sidelined, here's how the Habs will line up this evening in Vegas:
It's also worth noting that forward Jake Evans is still out of the lineup, as well. He, of course, is still dealing with concussion symptoms after getting taken out by Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Schiefele in Game 1 of the previous round.
